The weigh-ins, featuring event headliners Joe Lauzon and Jeremy Stephens, took place at the Marshall Student Center on the campus of the University of South Florida. All 20 competitors (eventually) made weight.

The same university hosts Saturday’s Spike TV-televised event, which will be held at the USF Sun Dome.

Multiple fighters initially weighed heavy for their bouts and were forced to strip behind a UFC towel. However, the extra measure didn’t work for Josh Neer or Rich Clementi, who needed an additional hour to drop a half pound of weight. However, the extra time was enough, and all 20 competitors are now officially cleared for Saturday’s event. Check out our on-site report for the complete UFC Fight Night 17 weigh-in results.
